The dual rails on the seat track make this a safer and more comfortable rowing experience. It will also hold more weight than most rowers in this category. This is a great option for people who are looking to lose weight or start a transformation.
The electromagnetic resistance will be comfortable for beginners, but it will also provide a challenge for advanced users. The price tag on this makes it affordable, as well, so people who are looking to upgrade their home gym can do so without breaking the bank.
When looking for a magnetic rower, you should first try to find one that is easy to assemble. Most rowers will take about an hour to put together, and they will include the needed tools, as well. The screen and instructions should also be easy to understand and learn—you’d rather be training than trying to figure out how to access the features on a touchscreen if there is one.
The weight capacity of the machine also matters, especially if you’re going to begin a weight-loss transformation. The machine should be solid enough to use, and it should be strong enough for you to have adequate resistance both now and in the future as you get stronger.
Last, but not least, you want to be able to store it easily. Most rowers fold, but some stand on one end for vertical storage. If you prefer a folding rower, it should be simple to fold and unfold. Vertical standing machines should have wheels for easy transporting.
The magnetic rowing machine provides a full-body workout with low-impact resistance. You can burn calories and train over half the muscles in your body at the same time with a magnetic rowing machine. They also will test your endurance and strength if you use a heavy level of resistance. The rowing motion will challenge your posterior chain while the core and lower body will still be working as you return to the starting position.
Rowing can also be more enjoyable than walking on a treadmill or taking on a high-impact form of cardio. You can store a rowing machine in any room of your home, and setting them up is simple.
The resistance is provided by magnets instead of air or water. The distance between the two magnets is what makes the rowing motion more challenging. As the magnets separate, they offer resistance, which is when you’re pulling. As they come back together, that resistance decreases. The resistance on most machines is changed digitally or by mechanical sliders.
Compared to water and air rowers, magnetic rowers are considerably quiet machines. The magnetic resistance is quieter than a chain or strap that is directly connected to the fan wheel.
It depends on what you’re using the rower for. If you want to simulate water rowing or have a machine that provides more resistance on the pull, then you should consider a water rower. If you want a quiet machine with consistent resistance throughout the stroke, then a magnetic rower would be the way to go.
Some machines need access to a plug, especially if you want to use them for online subscriptions or if they have a large touchscreen. Some machines only need batteries to operate the display screen. If you want an advanced machine, then one that requires a plug will be necessary.
